I need to reinstall the dependencies of a CPAN module. Some dependencies which are usually installed are missing but the package itself is up to date to cpan.
So how can i still install the dependencies?
Run CPAN client from the Strawberry Perl or Strawberry Perl (64-bit), sub folder Tools, entry in the Start menu. Type install Module::Name there.
Type cpanm --uninstall Module::Name (note the " m ") to uninstall the module with cpanminus.
CPAN.pm is a Perl module which allows to query and install modules from CPAN sites. It supports interactive mode invoked with cpan. or perl -MCPAN -e shell. Querying modules.
Be forceful.
From cpan
command-line application:
$ cpan -f -i Module::With::Dependencies
From CPAN shell
:
cpan[1]> force install Module::With::Dependencies
You might try installing App::cpanminus, then use its cpanm
command-line tool to install the module and its dependencies (try cpanm --help
to get a list of the options).
(I also just discovered App::pmuninstall, which helped with a nasty case of refusal to update all of the files for a module by letting me uninstall the module first before installing the up-to-date version.)
